  • Patent number: 6005307
    Abstract: A switching system having a plurality of positions for separating or interconnecting a generator, a network transformer, and a starter device, the system including a circuit breaker for the generator and a busbar disconnector for separating or interconnecting the generator and the network transformer, and a starter disconnector for separating or interconnecting the generator and the starter device. The busbar disconnector includes a first fixed contact and a first moving contact that co-operates by sliding with the first fixed contact, the first fixed contact and the first moving contact being integrated with the circuit breaker of the generator. The starter disconnector includes a second fixed contact and a second moving contact that co-operates with the second fixed contact by rotation. This organization remains economical to implement even for applications in which the generator is an alternator in a combined cycle or a gas turbine power station.
